Can you give us an idea about what the discrepancies might be, and show us a picture? Someone on the board might be able to help if you aren't able to get help from the folks at the magazine. I had a problem several years ago with a pattern and contacted the designer- talk about a RUDE response she sent, she inferred that I should not be sewing if I wasn't smart enough to read the pattern. Well, I showed the pattern to my quilting group and 4 or 5 others who have sewn for years and for the public. Funny thing we all read the directions the same way. I've been sewing most of my life-I'm 73 and made my first garment at age 9 in 4-H, so I'm not a newbie.
